It has been said before, and it will be said again -- the Canadians make good videos. This week's VOTW comes to us from Beijing champ and 2011 World bronze medalist Kevin Light of Rowing Canada Aviron, and features some excellent insights into the coaching mind of Mike Spracklen. The video also showcases some of Light's photography, which has been featured in Rowing News magazine, among other places. For more of Light's work, check out his Flickr photostream.

Also, check out Rowing News'online coverage of the Oklahoma Regatta Festival, with two weekend interviews that Bryan has posted from Oklahoma City, featuring U.S. U23 World Champions Mike Gennaro and Ty Otto on their outstanding summer and plans for the coming year, as well as Beijing Olympian and U.S. lightweight national team member Tom Paradiso on his comeback to elite level competition.
